Pest Control in Pasadena, CA
Careful, guaranteed pest control for Pasadena’s historic homes and tree-lined streets.
Pasadena's beautiful old housing stock is also its biggest pest liability. Craftsman bungalows in Bungalow Heaven, Victorians near Orange Grove, and mid-century homes toward Hastings Ranch all offer drywood termites decades of untreated wood to work on, while the city's famous tree canopy gives roof rats a highway straight to your attic.
Fly Guys Pest Control treats Pasadena homes the way old houses deserve — starting with a real inspection, not a generic spray. We serve homeowners, landlords, and businesses from Old Pasadena to East Washington with family-safe products, same-day availability on most emergencies, and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Old Houses, Big Trees: The Pasadena Pest Equation
Two things define pest pressure in Pasadena: the age of the homes and the maturity of the landscaping. A hundred-year-old bungalow has accumulated generations of small gaps — unscreened attic vents, original wood shingles, settled foundations — and drywood termites and rodents exploit every one of them. Mature oaks, camphors, and ivy-covered fences let roof rats travel block to block without ever touching the ground.
Closer to the Arroyo Seco and the San Rafael hills, homes also pick up field pressure: more spiders, occasional wildlife-driven flea problems, and ants that surge indoors after the first hot week of summer. Our treatment plans account for both the house and what surrounds it, and we always discuss exclusion work — sealing the entry points — rather than just baiting and leaving.
Common Pests in Pasadena
Drywood termites
Pasadena’s historic wood-frame homes are among the most termite-prone in LA County — inspections catch colonies before structural damage.
Roof rats
The mature tree canopy lets rats reach rooflines directly; attic nesting is the #1 rodent call we get in Pasadena.
Ants
Argentine ants move indoors in waves during summer heat and winter rains, especially in kitchens and bathrooms.
Spiders
Homes near the Arroyo and the foothills see more black widows in garages, woodpiles, and meters.

Why do I hear scratching in my attic at night?
In Pasadena that is almost always roof rats, which reach attics from overhanging branches and utility lines. We trap the current animals and seal the entry points so the attic stays empty.
